NASA Probe Discovers 'Alien' Matter From Beyond Our Solar System

>>An international team of scientists presented new findings from IBEX, which included the first detection of alien particles of hydrogen, oxygen and
neon, in addition to the confirmation of previously detected helium

We have heard scientests say "find water find life" now it appears oxygen might be another key. It is interesting that NASA in general seems to be
releasing more information related to the search of extraterrestrial life. Other earthlike planets, radio signals ect. Maybe just a way to keep
interest and keep budgets up.

"alien" matter. Interesting.

It's only a matter of time. (said the guy who has stated this 137 times in the past six years)

"Measuring the pressure on our heliosphere from the material in the galaxy and from the magnetic fields out there will help determine the size and
shape of our solar system as it travels through the galaxy," Eric Christian, IBEX mission scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Md., said in a statement.

We are on a ship, at sea, we have found the sea to be vast. Is the sea moving quickly, or is the ship not moving?

Our entire heliosphere, which contains our Sun, the planets, and everything else in our Solar System, is moving through the interstellar medium.
Because of this motion, a sort–of "breeze" of interstellar material moves toward our heliosphere’s boundary. The interstellar neutral atoms are
just that – "neutral" – meaning they do not interact with magnetic fields. ISNs move through the boundary of our heliosphere without the
boundary affecting them.

As the atoms approach the region containing the Sun and the planets, the breeze of ISNs is deflected by the Sun’s gravity into a curved path.
Different atoms are deflected in different amounts based on their masses, and these deflections can be calculated. Based on these calculations, the
IBEX team knows when to look for them as the IBEX spacecraft passes through these deflection regions in Earth’s orbit.

So my limited
understanding is, they are detecting neutral atoms which are deflected by the sun's gravitational field, as our solar system passes through space.

Great but would that increase their budget? If NASA wants more sponsor money they better start telling the truth and whats really going on out there,
that will give them a major boost in credit........
